Southmoor sits in the Vale of White Horse, roughly seven miles west of Abingdon and about ten miles from Oxford. It has effectively merged with its neighbour, Kingston Bagpuize, to form a single community that straddles the A415 and the old course of the A420. Historically, this was a landscape of orchards and agriculture, though much of its character today comes from the mix of mid-century housing and the extensive residential development of recent years. The village is well-served by the frequent "S6" bus route, which provides a reliable link between Swindon and Oxford, making it a practical base for those working in the city or at the nearby Science Vale sites. While it has grown significantly, it retains its core amenities, including a primary school, a local Co-op, and a traditional pub, the Waggon and Horses. Life here tends to revolve around the village hall and the local sports club, with the surrounding flat landscape offering straightforward walking routes toward the River Thames at Newbridge or through the parkland of Kingston Bagpuize House.
